[pandorabots-general] Banning IP

[Stanley E. Honour]

I agree with the comments below with the exception that user ID's can be
spoofed or the evil doer will just keep moving to new user IDs.   The
best solution is to write code to block or limit the bad behavior.
There is no reliable way to ID or track spoofers, so it is best to
concentrate on how the bot can be used.

Within the pandorabots system it is impossible to ban someone on the
basis of an IP number. This is, in my opinion, a rather crude way of
blocking a person, in particular since people may be sharing an IP. For
example corporate firewalls, proxy settings etc will have to the outside
world one IP number. Banning this IP number will have an effect on
everyone. Therefor it is better to ban the user, this is something that
can quite easily be done in AIML.

I need help. People seem to be using my bot inapropriateley. Is there
any way I can have my bot either not accept certain IP address, or give
them a special message no matter what they say?

THANKS!
